but in this situation, romney made a difficult choice. he can seek out in defense of his aid of his gay campaign aid and say look. it really shouldn't matter. this guy is with me. he knows what he is doing and i trust him or he could say yeah, you know what? it wasn't working out. we had to dismiss him over fill philosophical disagreements. but now it looks like he was the victim of a bullying campaign by right-wing thinkers who don't want to come anywhere near the gay agenda and makes him look big and small and not egalitarian. >> greed. quick last question before we go to the break. this time campaign the obama campaign it was hope four years ago and now it's forward. what does that mean?

and for romney it's $50.4 million. i see all this. okay he doesn't have as much money as which thought. he doesn't have as much money on hand as we thought. at least he should run more ads? wrong again. obama has run 40,000 television ads and romney has run 18,000 ads. wait a minute. what the hell is he doing with the money? and if he say hey get out the vote? no, president obama's team is significantly ahead in there. mr. ceo, what did you do? you bungled it. you had all this money. apparently you grossly misspent it. he ran twice as much ads for you and my eyes were deceiving me. we kept showing one hard-hitting ad of obama doing damage to romney. and i guess he took the money and said, oh, what happened? right? >> stop it. >> cenk: she's back. now, it turns out it gets worse. right now apparently his campaign is $10 million in debt and he took out $20 million loan. why in the world with all that money is he taking out loans at this point? >> stop it. >> cenk: okay, and then on top of that he said, no, it's okay. we have paul ryan.
